"Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, or George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, if any of them had ever met uh, uh Jim McDermott, they would all blow his brains out," Habermann said in the first rambling message, according to charging documents. "They'd shoot him, in the head. They'd kill him, because he's a piece of, of, of disgusting garbage. â€¦

Habermann also left two voicemail messages for Perez on March 23, one of which threatened to kill the California assemblyman, according to court documents. A week earlier, Habermann met with one of Perez's staffers and began ranting about the federal health care bill and how he didn't want to support immigrants and Latinos, records show.

"He seemed agitated, paranoid and couldn't keep still," said CHP Officer John Quintero, who referred to a report about the incident.

Habermann was escorted out of Perez's office, and the case, along with the threatening voicemails, was referred to the California Highway Patrol's Dignitary Protection Section, Quintero said. Habermann was never arrested.
